What is spending too much RAM?

Hi, today I found my imac's ram memory oversaturaded and I don't know what is causing that. I run the activity monitor to see the process running and, by adding the memory they're using doesn't match what the monitor says it actually running.
Yesterday I could open safari, itunes, mercury messenger, photoshop cs2 and print photos. Now i can't open a photo in photoshop even if its the only program running.
Hopping have explained myself, thank you.
btw, I'm talking about an iMac G5, 20", 2.0hz, 512 RAM

Kernel_task is spending too much CPU and Ram

I have Macbook Pro 13' mid 2012 I bought it 9/2013 and its started to become too slow like seriously slowed when I check the Activity Monitor kernel_task spend too much RAM and CPU and because of the usage of CPU my computer becomes overheated. This what comes up when I do the EtreCheck;

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

After Effects Ram Preview Drops Frames , Using Strangely Too Much Ram

System Specs :
     CPU : Core i7 4770k
     Memory : 16 GB DDRIII
     Graphic Card : GTX 770 4GB RAM
     Storage : 256 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD

     Using After Effects CC 12.2.1.5
NOTE : NOT ANY ADDITIONAL HARDWARE IS ATTACHED TO MY PC . NO SOUND RELATED EQUIPMENT NOR CAPTURE CARD NOR ANY THING ELSE
Hi there
As you Already Don't know I'm an After effects Specialist Using it for quite long time . There is an Ancient Problem with CS6 CC versions . I have a short Small size 1080p Video , about 8 MB , I drag it into project panel and then put it into timeline hence it creates a sequence . There are no Effects and nothing added to timeline , just a small simple video . The Strange Problem is when I click "0" for ram preview , The video starts playing and the green bar above timeline starts to fill . When Ram preview Finishes and plays the video from beginning I See there are several frames Between which are not being loaded to Ram ! The video plays RGB color bar instead of main video and when I check the Green bar above Timeline I see that those frames are being dropped and there is no Green bar above them !
I have had this problem several times before but this time it is too important and the problem should be solved . What is obvious is that some frames are not being rendered or are being deleted after render !
Another Strange problem is that when I open Task manager , It shows AE uses around 10 GB ! of RAM when I press "0" for Ram previewing this video !
So there is a Logical explanation here , Somehow when I do ram preview this video it uses extra ordinary too much ram so AE is unable to load the full video (8 MB) into Ram and hence deletes some of frames .
most of my videos have not this problem and use acceptable amount of ram .I've had this issue with some of my videos till now .
Listen carefully : "This has nothing to do with AE preferences or low memory or plugins . because there is nothing wrong with any individual components of may hardware or software . I have far more than enough RAM for a 8MB video . My Memory has no hardware or software problem . I tested them and if there was any problem with memory or other hardware that should have affected other applications . I have the most recent AE version . I have the most Recent windows updates and drivers . I have a Clean virus free system , and as a computer engineer this strange AE problem is rarely caused by viruses , trust me . I have not any hardware instead of ones a normal PC has . I have not any problem with my whole entire system configuration because I have benchmarked my PC with several up to date softwares . I have tested my PC with almost any STRESS TESTING solutions available for really long period of time , 3 days by IDA64 . Not any driver conflict , dll missing , registry problem have been discovered , as I know perfectly how to solve them ."
I asked some of my friend whom are expert in AE . I handed them my videos and Watched ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME ISSUE ! So the problem isn't related to my Local PC . What i believe is that there is some malfunctioning or miss coded part in AE source code that decides to reserve such a huge strange amount of ram for such a tiny 8MB video . The point is that the AE works fine , no crash or any problem report . So the AE it Self decides to allocate such huge amount of ram and thinks it is correct ! So I think this is a work around that AE developers in adobe are using to bypass a problem or conflict ! by Using more amount of RAM . I think that there might be some miss understanding between the AE and my installed codec . I installed MEGA CODEC PACK on my PC to enable some new codec supports , and so are some of Windows default de/encoders changed to new ones . I think there shouldn't be any problem But there is something wrong between AE and de/encoder modules !
Please any one with any suggestion , I really appreciate your advices .

###UPDATED###
Well thank you guys for your patience ...
as you considered I forgot to mention the codec itself and other stuff ...
The video is in 1080p , 35 sec long , it is a green screen shot , this video is directly downloaded from YouTube and plays perfectly on all tested PCs . here are detailed info :

NOTICE : This video is just for testing the lighting and etc , and so the Sampling and other specs are not considered for broadcast .
I think you hit the point ! Thats K-lite codec pack installed on every machine which the video is tested on ! The point is whats wrong with it ?! I have had never ever any problem with this codec pack !!!
The deadly question : So what are the alternative ways to work with codecs that AE doesn't support ?! because installing codec looks simple and sufficient !

Bridge memory leak/using too much ram

I just built a new PC tower for business use and installed PS, ID, LR, and BR CC trials. I already have all of these (CS5) on my personal laptop, all work fine. Bridge on the new tower has been using WAY too much ram/caching too much and crashing everything. I'd changed cache preferences, purged the cache several times, and within days it is back at it again. PC specs: 8 core AMD processor, 16GB ram, 2x 3TB HDD
This is being used to show photos, edit, burn and print at events. I cannot keep closing bridge every half hour to keep my computer running. Right now bridge is NOT keeping 100% previews in cache, exporting cache to folders, cache size is about 25,000. If bridge is going to crash every half hour on a machine with 16GB of ram, while CS5 ran fine on my laptop with only 4GB something is seriously wrong. At this point I don't know if I should actually subscribe to CC or just move my CS5 to this new computer.

I have tried to analize better what happens. In the dashboard I only have a calendar, a calculator, a clock and one postit (but there is nothing writen on it). If I use something in the dashboard, for example, the calculator, and I do some multiplications, after a couple of minutes the use of memory of the dashboard starts to increase. I closed any other program and in some minutes I have sen how it increased until I stopped the process when it was using more than 2GB! (you can see it in the picture). It's very strange! (Thank you very much for your help!)

Firefox uses too much ram

My FIrefox has been using too much RAM as of late. I have followed all the steps in the firefox support page about checking for possible plugins that may or may not be using too much RAM, but after starting firefox in safe mode, there really wasn't much of a difference. Maybe like 5k kb less, but it's still not enough to account for the 1.7million kb that firefox ends up using with one tab open.
I like to leave my pc on for a bit, and sometimes I'll leave firefox running with a tab open while I'm using other applications, but even if i restart my firefox, the RAM usage does not decrease. After closing all applications and leaving only firefox running, it appears to be around 1.5million kb. Only if i restart my whole pc does the RAM usage drop back to normal levels, and then it ramps back up after a period of time.
I would like to get this resolved soon, or at least figure out the cause of this.

Is too much ram bad?

Hi,
I've heard that having more than 1 gig of ram is excessive for a ibook.
Also, I've also heard that having too much ram ie. 1.5 gig (max for iBook) may be even slower than 1gig.(although probably not noticable).
I've also heard that it's better to have equal ram sticks if you have 2 sticks of ram. ie, two 512 sticks for 1 gig, instead of one 256 and one 512 stick.
Any validity to what ive heard?

Hi Nub,
From my knowledge, you are not going to have any side effects from adding the correct kind of RAM to your computer. That is true that in some cases you might not notice a difference when upgrading. The only time it becomes a problem is if you have bad RAM (can happen with any amount of RAM). You will have complications. To fix that just take it out and see if it works again. I would upgrade to 1.5Gb
I hope that helps,
Jon

My MBP mid 2014 is using too much RAM

My MBP mid 2014 is using too much ram on kernel task, and some others what can I do to fix this?

To add to Tim's excellent advice, look at my numbers for my quad-core i7 iMac with 12GB RAM installed:
As you can see, the system has reserved almost all the available RAM but the swaps are zero and the memory pressure is on the bottom of the scale. My computer runs very fast.
RAM handling in OSX changed with OS10.9 and continues in 10.10. The measures you were using only apply to Mac OSX 10.8 and older.
If your swaps move up into the Gig range, you are probably using a bunch of RAM. You cannot upgrade RAM in a 2014 Retina model so it behooves you to avoid third-party utilities like "FreeMemory," keep an eye on Safari extensions, and be frugal with your user login items (System Preferences > Users and Groups > {your account} > Login Items tab).

My MacBook Pro is using too much RAM.

Hello,
I have got Apple MacBook Pro 13.3” (ME865LL/A) with OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 and I’ve noticed that my MacBook is using too much RAM. I'm doing nothing, I've got opened only my Google Chrome web browser and my notebook is using about 6,6 GB RAM of 8,0 GB... Have you ever had problem like my? I was reading about Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer. What do you think about that?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't use any AV software - if you just keep a watch on what you download and where it's from, you've no need for it, either.
See The Safe Mac -> Mac Malware Guide. There is some malware and adware for Macs, but no viruses (although you can pass them along to your Windows friends!).

Too much RAM consumption in Photoshop CC 2014.

Hi people,
Since the update to Photoshop CC 2014 I'm having serious problems with the amount of RAM used by Photoshop.
When opening a file (only) 245 MB big, Photoshop uses around 3.5 GB of RAM. As a result my PC is extremely slow.
This was never the case in previous versions. Files made in previous versions are now hard to work on in the CC 2014 version.
Some bigger files are now useless. It takes forever to open them and impossible to work on because of this RAM issue.
I can not open other apps or even browsers at the same time anymore, because Photoshop consumes too much RAM.
Is it normal Photoshop uses 3.5 GB RAM while the file is that small?
When comparing with other Adobe (CC 2014) software only Photoshop uses that amount of RAM.
If you look here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html#Photoshop CC 2014 system requirements and language versions
you can see the minimum requirements of RAM:
Photoshop CS5:            1GB
Photoshop CS6:            1GB
Photoshop CC:             1GB
Photoshop CC 2014:     2GB (8 GB recommended)
OK, new versions need more RAM, I understand. But in my case it seems like 6 GB is not enough.
And I have the feeling even 8 GB won't be enough too.
Can someone please tell me if there's a problem with Photoshop CC 2014, will this be solved?
Or is this normal behaviour, and should I buy more RAM?
Buying more RAM is of course the easiest answer to solve this.
But don't you think the jump from 1 GB to (minimum) 8 GB RAM is very big?
And like I said, I don't think 8 GB will cover it too. Then how much will be enough?
Thnx in advance!
I have:
OS:                                Windows 7 Pro
Processor:                      Intel Xeon CPU W3550 @ 3.07 GHz 3.06 GHz
System Type:                 64 Bit PC
RAM:                             6 GB RAM
Available Disk Space:     283 GB
Kind regards,
Lester.

Ok, thnx for the reply!
I bought more RAM.

I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money? Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound? Will I need adaptors and a interface?

Can anybody help?
I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money?

Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

Too Much RAM??

Hi guys, long time first time. Three weeks ago I bought 1 gb of RAM from Crucial for my iBook (1.2 GHz - OSX 10.4.1) because it only came with 256mb and it started to show signs of major slowdown. Anyway, I've installed the new RAM and now my iBook is FLYING!!! However I just started noticing this week that Safari keeps hanging on me. Pages I visited normally like ESPN, Yahoo, etc are suddenly getting the "beachball" and I have to force quit. It's been pretty constant now. Could this be the new RAM? Was it too much? Thanks for you help guys!!

Except in very specific circumstances saying "Too much RAM." is like saying "Too much happiness."

I bought a new 13 macbook pro with 4gb and would like to get aperture 3.4.3. Will it require too much ram for my computer? Thanks

I just bought a macbook pro 13" with 4gb and would like to get aperture on it. Will aperture require too much ram for my computer? Thanks for any support.

I just bought a macbook pro 13" with 4gb
I have been using Aperture on such a system, and it was o.k. with Snowleopard and moderately sized images. After I upgraded to Lion and started to user larger image files - 30 MB tiffs, I saw the occasional beachball spinning. You should be prepared to quit other applications that will hog the RAM (like Safari), when working with Aperture on Lion or Mt. Lion with only 4 GB. If you can, follow Frank Caggiano's recommendation and upgrade to 8GB. It will make a large difference.

Too much ram? Is this possible?

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro 17" 2.33 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
My computer seems to take a long time to render or export video from FCP.
Someone told me that my Laptop can only be upgraded to 3GB of ram, and that having 4 GB could be slowing it down.
Is this possible?
These are my other system settings.

Please let me know if I am using too much ram.
Thanks,

Well, it's true that a MBP2,1 only supports 3GB of RAM. But the only thing that should mean is that the last 1GB can't be addressed. It shouldn't slow down your system, because your system shouldn't even "know" it's there.
And if there was an issue with RAM addressing, it should display itself as system instability, not system slowness, I would think. RAM doesn't work like that.
Now if you have the wrong kind of RAM (doesn't match the bus speed) or mismatched RAM sticks (different speeds), then you could have speed issues, since the RAM will all have to synchronize to the slowest supported clock speed.

Labview 2010 vi using too much RAM and causing Crashes

hello everyone,
I was given a LV 2010 vi to integrate with another functionality.This Vi is used for a long time on XP and Windows 7 platform having various RAM size.it still runs fine on those PCs. This Vi has functionality that it waits for user to press start button that it reads data and plots.however i am not giving start command and it starts consuming too much RAM and resulting system Crash.
System Config: I have Core i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz with 2 GB RAM and windows 7 .
Plz show some methods to prevent them and why it is happening.?
Note:1) i also checked my ram through windows test and it has no error.
2) windows shows me some low disk error sometimes.
plz help me out here i am stuck here for week.
thanks & regards

Post your VI if you are allowed, we cannot help you without that info...
If you are a beginner in LabVIEW, it will not take 1 day to gain some level. LabVIEW is a full featured programming language, it is very easy to program it wrong. I suggest you to start learn it using the online resources. You have an active LabVIEW licence? If so, you can access the "self-paced online training" via menu point "MyNI", see top of this website just next to your name (you need to connect your account to your licence in order to use the online training). Another option could be to pay for a virtual classroom course, get more info here: http://sine.ni.com/tacs/app/overview/p/ap/of/lang/en/pg/1/sn/n5nline,n24:12725/id/1582/ I did this a few years ago (Core 1 and 2.) and the tutor from NI was very professional, and it was also comfortable since you attend the class via internet from yoour home or workplace.

What is spending too much RAM?
